Some (not all) hash # Tags show in Setlist

See attached Picx

Each song has more than 5 #tags in the song locator (ie, #dance #motown etc).
And none of those tags are shown in the Setlist view, which is what I expected.

But, any # tag followed by a NUMBER (which I use for decade tags >> #60s #70s), these DO show in the Setlist. See picx.

This certainly is not very important. {And I guess perhaps I need an education, because maybe #60 is a command. Is it?)

(btw, if you are wondering why a % sign starts these songs, it is my way to indicating which songs are only “beats” ( % = beats…is this by chance causing some issue?)

Hey @nevillewhitemusic,

Thanks for reporting this!

I was able to reproduce the same behavior on my end.
We’ll take a closer look at this and keep you posted!

Hey @nevillewhitemusic,

That’s a good find, thank you for reporting this!

My initial idea was that some song titles include a hash (e.g. #5 by Aphex Twin) and I didn’t want these to be recognized as hashtags, so I excluded any hashtags that start with a number. However, I didn’t think about hashtags like #60s which also includes letters. I’ll publish a new version with a fix soon :slight_smile:

It is amazing to ponder your 10000000 great design decisions within
Ableset.

All the best Leo

Never heard of #5 by Aphex Twin …so I gave a listen.
Ambient music. I liked it.

trivia…
A song w/ # is #9 Dream (John Lennon). Hmmmm. But using # in song title certainly is rare.
I just googled it, and it is rare, but a sample of 5 examples was returned:

“#BrooklynBloodPop!” by SyKo (A popular internet-era song)
“#SELFIE” by The Chainsmokers (A 2014 EDM hit)
“#thatPOWER” by will.i.am ft. Justin Bieber
“#icanteven” by The Neighbourhood
“#BeautifulLive” by Mariah Carey

That sounds like maybe I should exclude hashtags at the very start of the song title as well. I’ll change that in the next version :slight_smile:

EDIT: It seems I had already thought of that. Hashtags at the start of a song title are not registered as actual hashtags but as part of the song title
